An IT Journey to Monitoring Glory: Session One

Back to the (Monitoring) Basics

Let’s start by going back to the basics of monitoring. Whether you’re new to monitoring or looking for a refresher, there’ll be something for everyone. The presenters will bring their experience monitoring small, to large, to hybrid, and beyond environments. Join the live chat to ask questions of the presenters and offer other attendees your own tips for ramping up on monitoring. In this session, we'll:

• Discuss the monitoring posture in your organization and how to plan for your future
• Explain some of the best practices from people who’ve done the work
• Detail some of the very first steps in everyone’s monitoring journey
• Weigh the pros and cons of using wide-ranging discovery scans
• Learn how to obtain (near) instant gratification from your monitoring
• Organize with Custom Properties and/or Orion® Groups

Due to time constraints, we didn't have an opportunity to answer every question in the live chat.  We posted those questions in our Watercooler » Monitoring Basics forum and provided answers there.
